<p class="MsoNormal">As Simon has reported, the speed of access on Linux system are slow.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We've just used the mount command as below</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0 -o domain=ADF -o username=USERNAME -o noperm //<<exported filestore>> /media/mnt1</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">However we've seen other users </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The users we've been talking to use Ubuntu,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">version 14.04</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="SpellE">Smbclient</span> version : Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="SpellE">Mount.cifs</span> version is : 6.0</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">version 15.10</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">We've run the same tests and have seen similar speeds around 6Gbps, whereas windows gives is around 40Gbps</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The machine is connected via ethernet cable and we've also had one user add the export as part of the /etc/fstab file, but the issues of speed still persist whether you use the mount command or
use the fstab file.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I've not tested on centos / redhat but will do that and report back.</p>
